  His lottery pick?

November 21, 2019 is Thanksgiving Day, so I'm thinking no.  Books don't get released that day.  If the clue had led you to the answer of November 22, AKA Black Friday, then maybe I would think you were on to something.  I don't think Jim can get a firm release date until after he turns the finished manuscript in and the publisher can look it over and determine a release date.  Till then, anything else is just guesswork.

I'm surprised Jim has taken so long to finish the denouement chapter.  Normally he knocks those things out in two or three days.  Seeing as how Harry is going to be kidnapped and sent to an alternate universe in the next book, I wonder if Jim would take a page from Quantum Leap and have that happen in the last chapter of Peace Talks with Harry suddenly appearing in the mirror mirror world as a mob of enemies closes in around him and saying the words in "Oh boy!"

I don't think we'll see him in the Mirror'verse.  I think we'll see him get snatched, and cliffhang on "what thing just reached out of the mirror and grabbed Harry?!!?"

Is MM confirmed 100% as the next book, BTW?

No theirs a Wrestling Book after Peace Talks. *siiigh* I'm actually pretty apprehensive about it.

[123Chikadee]

@Con: Yeah I feel the same. That wrestling thing could either be epic or absurd and not in a good way. Though I do think it's probably a breather book before Mirror Mirror. So I could see that Quantum Leap twist at the end of the wrestling book.
As to why the denouement chapter is taking so long, I don't know. Maybe there is some other twist that he's got to take time on.

Maybe he's doing some review and reconcilliation with the Beta feedback?  Some "oh shit, this thing is impossible given that other thing I need to be true..." etc.

Maybe?

... Wrestling Book ... 

I barely recollected that one being mentioned.  Went looking.

According to this post:

WoJ is that order (after PT) is MM 1st, then Wrestling.  Has this info been changed (or was it just wrong?) ?
 

[123Chikadee]

Oh, ok. Huh I could have sworn the wrestling one came in between PT and MM. Well I suppose Con could be right with how PT ends. Though Beta feedback is also a pretty good guess too.

So Mirror, Mirror happening before Christmas Story?  Seems weird, but who knows.

[KurtinStGeorge]

Christmas Story?  Do you mean the very, very short story we got last Christmas?  If so, I don't think it's that weird.  Even if Harry spends a few days to a few weeks in the Mirror Mirror world he might get back a few seconds after he gets taken away.

[magnuskn]

Yeah, that doesn't sound likely storytelling. "I just got sucked into this life-changing experience where I met my Mirror self, with goatee and all! But for christmas, I got to go home and build a bike. Now back to the main story!". It would read pretty awkward if Jim would have to point this out in the Mirror Mirror novel. I presume that novel starts as normal in the main universe Chicago and things go on from there.
